Will Shehbaz Sharif be forced to withdraw Pakistan from Trump’s Board of Peace?
Pakistan joins Donald Trump’s newly unveiled Board of Peace, aiming to promote global stability and oversee Gaza’s reconstruction, despite a $1 billion membership fee and Trump’s continued chairmanship. The move has sparked strong domestic backlash, with opposition leaders and activists criticizing the lack of transparency and warning it could undermine Pakistan’s moral standing and foreign policy coherence. Critics argue the Board’s broad mandate may sideline the United Nations and Palestinian self-determination, while Pakistan’s government defends the decision as a step toward humanitarian aid and ceasefire in Gaza.
